M5 Competition Pack Exhaust for 550i/550xi

I just had this competition pack exhaust installed on my 550 this week. I have put in a lot of research to order parts, fabricate tubing and more. The exhaust sounds fantastic with a deep rumble but unfortunately is not fitting with my sleeper theme and I think someone else can appreciate it more.

The exhaust is definitely louder than stock at WOT but not by much under part throttle and cruising on the highway. Where things really come alive is at 3000 RPM+ when the exhaust flap opens. My 10 year old son was giddy with laughter under full throttle for the first time and said “dad, it sounds like a race car!” Too much UK Top Gear for that boy…

I started with a 2014 M5 competition pack exhaust (that had 200 miles on it) and had new downpipe adapters fabricated to match up to the downpipes on my 2013 550xi. The shop also moved the resonators 2-3 inches closer to the x-pipe so this will clear the transmission and transfer case on a 550xi without any issues.

I will include the replacement m5 crossmember / exhaust hangers and hardware required to make this conversion including vacuum tube extensions required to activate the exhaust flaps.

I’m not looking to make any money on this, only try and recoup most of what I have put in. The best part for the buyer is that there is no additional fabrication required, you can bolt it on and go!

Here is a comparison of the M5 exhaust and 550 stock exhaust before being installed.

Anyone looking to ship should get some quotes from truckers at uship.com

FYI...I will be selling STOCK (non-CP) mufflers in Aug/Sept when my M5 arrives back from ED.

In case you were thinking of simply doing quieter mufflers...?

If not, what will you do? Simply keep the stock 550 exhaust? From what I understand the only think quieter than the CP exhaust is the standard M5 exhaust.

Either way... GLWS!

Phil pm me on ur stock exhaust

shoek · 04-16-2014, 12:54 PM

@ferrarif1 - so you are selling because the M5 comp system was too loud? Even with the vacuum valves it was too loud at idle/cruise?

ferrarif1 · 04-16-2014, 01:22 PM

It's slightly louder at idle and at cruise you would not even know it's installed. It's definitely louder when you do a cold startup or at full throttle / past 3000 RPM. Volume is not my main issue...everyone who rides in the car thinks I should keep the exhaust and it does sound glorious.

The reason for selling is my car looks like an M5 clone now and while there is some cool factor, I want more of a sleeper appearance.

I see you have Morr 8.2's so your car will not be mistaken for an M5. I am running 345M wheels and think the exhaust pushes me over the limit for M5 parts on my car.

Would this fit a 2011 550i?

And do you have any sound clips or videos?

Sounds good. I just came to an agreement on a price for a 2011 550i M-Sport and will be picking up this Saturday.

First things on my list of To-Dos is 35% tint and gloss black kidney grilles.

Price drop to $1600 for Exhaust and M5 crossmember/exhaust hanger.

just curious, I bought the same exhaust for my 2012 f10 550i, it's different from yours if I install it? what do I need? Thanks.
